we have a tax cut that includes getting out of afghanistan and iraq, you oppose the high-end tax cuts and leave social security and medicare alone. one thing that bothers me, they talk about shared sacrifice. i don't think it's shared sacrifice saying somebody making $700,000 a year has to pay a few thousand more taxes, but a 90-year-old woman has to get tax increases. she shouldn't be a part of it. if they leave open the tax question we can accept, i'll accept and vote for more severe reductions in housing and education and the environment i would ideally like. that's a deal that is not fun for anybody. responsible people can support. it can only happen if mcconnell and reid will compromise. will john boehner stand up to his right wing and join us in an effort to make it whole. >> barney frank, i appreciate your time. speaker boehner's speech made it clear. what about the impact of his propo proposed legislation to his own district? >>> welcome back to "the ed show." let's take a closer look what john boehner's bill will do in your own backyard. he represents the 8th district in ohio

that plan and triggers for additional cuts in that plan if say the savings would come from iraq and afghanistan and don't materialize and votes on a balanced budget amendment but what the democrats reviews to do is tie an increase in the debt ceiling to passing the balanced budget amendment. you can see the rough outlines of a deal. any deal would have to go back to the house. would these conservatives especially tea party members that speaker boehner had to make concessions to, what would they do if it comes back monday night just hours before the deadline, would they vote for that? >> 201 votes in favor of this legislation. right now 196. take a look. as of now 12 republicans have bolted from the leadership from john boehner, the speaker, and eric cantor the majority leader and right now 12 republicans have voted against and still not there. 216. there is still plenty of time left. nine minutes plus for this vote to conclude. it's a fascinating development as you say. by the way, we're told john boehner was mulling around and didn't seem overly concerned but it is still not a done deal yet. o

a pair of roadside bombs in southern afghanistan today killed at least 19 people, including some children. both blasts went off in helmand province, when a minibus and a tractor struck separate mines. meanwhile in the east, a bomb killed two nato service members. there was no word on their nationalities or the specific location of the attack. thousands of egyptian protesters gathered in cairo's tahrir square today, six months after a popular uprising made the square famous. it was filled with egyptians supporting a variety of political movements, including ultraconservative muslims calling for the implementation of strict islamic law. protestors braved the heat to step up pressure on the country's ruling military council and repeat demands for reform. it was one of the largest crowds to fill tahrir square since president hosni mubarak was ousted from power in february. norwegians paused today for memorial services and the first funerals of the victims of last week's twin attacks. the number of dead was raised to 77. and police said it was likely the self-confessed killer, anders behring b
